as high as an elephant’s eye

It’s the bracken in the meadow that’s growing high, no corn in sight. It was certainly a beautiful morning, followed by a lovely afternoon and evening…….wall to wall sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. I made the most of it: I got the washing done and hung outside, I did some gardening and prepared a bed to plant out my sweet pea seedlings, then I took Bertie for an extra, one to one, agility lesson. It was great fun for Bertie and for me. He did really well, and before we finished, he completed the whole course without getting distracted. I was thrilled to bits with his progress. We walked back home over the fields and that’s when we came across the burgeoning bracken.
